Great Dames: What I Learned from Older Women
I tried to like this book. I thought I would, but unfortunately, I did not, and didn't finish it.
The women the author is profiling are all in their own way important in their times and worlds. Many of them did laudable things, or impacted or changed things. And I would agree that they were "great dames".
But their stories and the way the author told them just felt too much like reading a text book for me. It was slow going, and I guess I just wasn't into the stories enough to be drawn in when the style felt like work to read.
I also think that the time these women lived in and the challenges they were faced with are so many worlds away from the things women are living with and facing today that it was very hard for me to connect them with the world of now and find similarities in their challenges faces. That's not fair - comparing that world with today, but that's my reality and what I am looking at so I'm not sure how to help that.
In the end I just wasn't engaged enough with this to finish it. Too many other books on my list to stick with one I'm not liking.
